Show Notes
One of the biggest movies in the world right now is about a robotic doll who goes on a violent rampage.
The film is called M3GAN, and it’s part of a new wave of campy, self-aware horror movies that are becoming huge box office success stories.
On today's episode, we explore how horror appears to be in the middle of a renaissance right now, thanks to an emphasis on fun, slick marketing, and a healthy dose of social and political satire.
The Drop is a weekly show tackling the latest in the world of pop culture and entertainment. Join host Osman Faruqi and the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age's team of culture writers and critics along with interviews with musicians, actors, film makers and everyone involved in the world of culture.
